Unreferenced essay about a neologism of questionable notability. Contested PROD. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:27, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - neologism with unquestionable lack of notability. MarB4 •ɯɒɹ• 02:31, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and improve. Not only is this act quite common among shooter gamers, searching for 'Call of Duty trick shot' in YouTube (or anywhere else for that matter) comes up with tons of results meaning that this neologism is notable. Just ask anyone who has played Call of Duty (or other shooters) and they would know what Trickshotting is. Miguel AG (talk) 07:07, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not a single reference. The creator of the article is also a possible conflict of interest as the article mentions Faze clan as the progenitor of this act and the creator of the article is user:FaZeClan. Miguel AG, although if the article is notable, it still requires references, which it has none.Curb Chain (talk) 08:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. NN WP:NEO. Niteshift36 (talk) 09:24, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Neologism of very limited/specialised applicability, no apparent reliable third-party coverage (YouTube most certainly does not count) and very little chance of garnering any in the future. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 09:51, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I play Modern Warfare myself and I'm familiar with the term, but Wikipedia is not a dictionary for a slang term that is barely used anywhere outside of gaming and maybe pool. --Blackmane (talk) 12:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete a good faith attempt to imply that a semi-used neologism in one area of the vast gaming community is a recognised notable and wide-spread term. S.G.(GH) ping! 12:55, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete—I had no success looking for reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. probably it is too soon for this term to have made it into the wider media world. The primary author may want to userfy this page until the term comes into general use. Regards, RJH (talk) 20:35, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hundreds of thousands of results in Google for "Trickshotting" "Modern Warfare 2" [1]. I don't see any game review sites mentioning it though. Just forum and YouTube results. Try adding it to http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Glossary You can even export the entire edit history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export and import it over there.
